ImageServer Imagery Reference

Raleigh publishes aerial photography, land-cover, temperature, and elevation products through a public ArcGIS ImageServer directory.

Base Directory

https://maps.raleighnc.gov/images/rest/services?f=pjson

The CLI recursively discovers services in folders such as Ortho, Temperature, Heat, LandCover, and Elevation.

Inspect capabilities to determine supported operations. Common capabilities include Catalog, Image, and Metadata.

Do not append /0 to an ImageServer root.
Large exports require explicit bounds; the CLI does not attempt full-service downloads by default.
Image exports return raw bytes; the file extension should match the requested format.
